And thoughts of meaner things; This day to cure thy deadly woes, The sun of righteousness arose, With healing in his wings

Chorus. O then let heav'n and earth rejoice, Creation's whole united voice,

And hymn the happy day.

2 If angels on that happy morn,
The Saviour of the world was born,
Pour'd forth seraphic songs;
Much more should we of human race,
Adore the wonders of his grace,
To whom the grace belongs.
Chorus. O then let heav'n, &c.

3 How wonderful, how vast his love,
Who left the shining realms above,
Those happy seats of rest;

How much for lost mankind he bore,
Their peace and pardon to restore,
Can never be exprest.
Chorus. O then let heav'n, &c.

4 Whilst we adore his boundless grace,
And pious mirth and joy take place,
Of sorrow, grief, and pain;
Give glory to our God on high,
And not, amongst the general joy,
Forget good-will to men.

Chorus. Ŏ then let heav'n, &c.

HYMN 13

COME Holy Ghost, eternal God,
Proceeding from above;

Both from the Father and the Son,
The God of peace and love.

2 Visit our minds, into our hearts,
Thy heav'nly grace inspire;
That truth and godliness we may
Pursue with full desire.

3 Thou art the very Comforter
In grief and all distress;
The heav'nly gift of God most high,
No tongue can it.express.

4 The fountain and the living spring
Of joy celestial;

The fire so bright, the love so sweet,
The unction spiritual.

5 Thou in thy gifts art manifold,
By them Christ's Church doth stand;
In faithful hearts thou writ'st thy law,
The finger of God's hand.

6 According to thy promise, Lord,
Thou givest speech with grace;
That thro' thy help, God's praises may
Resound in every place.

HYMN 14.

1 HE comes! the heav'nly bridegroom comes, Preceded by the midnight cry!

Sinners and saints forsake their tombs,
Go forth, and meet him in the sky.

2 How dreadful is the sinners fate,

Who wakes at last to sleep no more;
Who knocks, and calls, alas! too late,
When death for ever shuts thedoor.
3 To seal the universal docm

The Son of man shall bow the sky,
With all his holy angels come,
With all his Father's majesty!

+ All nations in that day shall meet,
Arraign'd at his tremendous bar,
Behold him on his glorious seat:

And, O my soul, shall I be there!

5 Most gracious, most tremendous Lord, The sentence which proceeds from thee, For punishment as for reward,

Must stand through all eternity.

6 Ah! give me now thy voice to hear,
Which calls in mercy so divine,
That when thou dost as Judge appear,
Thou may`st acknowledge me for thine.

HYMN 15.

LORY be to God our King, Hallelujah.
Thine eternal love we sing:

Thou hast bar'd thine arm divine,

Wrought salvation, made us thine. Hallelujah.

2 Fir'd with gratitude, we raise
All our souls to sound thy praise;
Touch each heart, each tongue inspire,
Sing we higher still and higher

3 Elevate our souls to thee,
Thou our guide and guardian be;
Worthy, worthy may we prove,
Lord, of such distinguish'd love.

4 Blessing, thankful all our days,
May we pray, rejoice and praise;
Till the glorious trump shall sound,

And our raptur❜d hearts rebound. Hallelujah.

HYMN 16.

[ocr errors]

Clap your hands,

Ye people, shout and sing,

To God, the great

And universal King:

"Twas he subdu'd

Whole nations of our foes;

Then for our lot

The tribe of Jacob chose.

God is gone up,

The Lord is high ascended,

With trumpet's sound

And shouts of joy attended.

2 To God the great And universal King, Exalted praise
